HIS TITLE.
HOW FORAKER BECAME A CAPTAIN.

Gen. b. W. .Slooum. . Distinguished
Democrat, Tells How the Young Soldier
was Promoted.
Gen. n. ". Slocum, the distinguished
Democrat, has an article in the October
Century On Sherman's march from Sa-
vannah 10 Bentonville, from which'we
extract the following: 81 saw the neces-
sity of giving him (Gen. Sherman) infor-
nation at once as TO the situation. This
information was carried to Gen. Sherman
by young man not then twenty years of
age, but who was full of energy and ac-
tivity and always reliable. He was then
the youngest member of my staff. He is
now governor of Ohio-Joseph B. Fora
ker. His work on this day secured his
promotion to the rank of captain"

DEMOCRATIC METHODS.

To show the determination of the
Democratic managers, says a leading
newspaper, including their candidate for
governor, to carry the election this fall
by fraudulent representations, it is only
necessary to say that Mr. Powell's COM
mittee continue to send out for publica-
ton the forged copies of Governor For
aker's special message on the tax ques-
ton. The committee confess that some
body forged the message in several places,
and promised to suppress them.
Now they are on new tack. There is
a copy of the report of the trustees of
the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
before US, and on page sixteen there is a
statement of the total cost per capita of
maintaining the inmates. 1t is vouched
for as correct by the trustees, three of
whom are Democrats. They say the cost
per capita has been reduced from $130. Al
In 1885 to 1925. 26 in 1886. This was the
first year of Governor Foraker's term.
Now comes L. McHugh, partisan labor
statistician, who has a busy pencil, and
he figures up the cost per capita for 1886
at $144 13. The trustees report is made
under oath. The Democratic committee
and Mr.. Powell are trying tosmake the
people believe the trustees are wrong,
when the figures are all taken from their
books, and that McHugh is right,
who does not pretend to give a fact or
figure to sustain his statement. 1t will
: not take long for honest men of all par
ties to determine which is right. But this
is forlorn resort of party which en-
ploys poll-book forgers and ballot-box
suffers to carry an election.

HE IS MODEST.
1T. Kiesewetter's Efforts to Work Up an
Individual Boom.

E-r. Kiesewetter's Efforts to Work Up an
Individual Boom.
Mr.. Emil Kiesewetter, auditor of state
and candidate for reelection, is running
a little campaign all by himself. He has
this week moved upon the Democratic
papers through the st ate, and informed
them of what he wishes done in his be-
half. On Thursday, October 6, Mr..
Kiesewetter, who is now auditor Of state,
sent cut to the Democratic newspaper ed
itors of the state the following, which is
presumably written on state house sta
tionery and stamped with state house
stamps;
"CoLUMBUs, O., Oct. 6, 1887.
editor -:
"DEAR SIR-f you can consistently
give the inclosed matter space in an early
issue of your paper you will very greatly
oblige, very truly,
''ENiIL KIEsEwETTER.
Now any one who has any doubts about
Mr.. Kiesewetter being modest need only
read the printed document, prepared by
himself, which is inclosed with the above
letter, and which Mr.. Kiesewetter asks
Democratic editors to give space In their
papers.
The matter would fill over a column in
any paper in Ohio, and starts off with
the announcement that Hon. Emil Kiese
wetter has now been auditor of state for
nearly four years. In the next sentence
Mr.. Kesewetter remarks: "He is enti
tied to reelection by such a decisive ma
jority as shall sufficiently indorse and
attest his able and honest public services. D."
This is Mr.. KiesewetteF's language,
and there is no doubt that he holds to
this notion, if no one else in the state
does, and that he would fully indOrse the
newspaper which would print this full
some eulogy of himself, prepared by
himself. Next follows a history of the
gentleman, telling how he was educated,
and then detailing his enlistment in the
army and telling his achievements there.

What Does II Mean.


Ths State Board Of Elect
Commissioners met a short tim
ago for the appointment Of county
commissioners.
For some reason Rankin county
was passed, although the chairman
Of the county Democratic execu-
tive committee had, in pursuance
Of the custom heretofore prevail
ing, recommended three men for
appointment. The three so re-
commended were Messrs Jno.
Atkins, Joe MeLaurin and w. f.
Traylor.
After the State Board had adj
iourned Gov. Lowry, IN converse.
tion with W. A. White, chairman
Of our county committee, said that
the custom was for the executive
committee as a whole, and not the
chairman only, to recommend who
should be appointed commission
ers. Mr.. White disputed this, but
asked if the committee would join
him in recommending the above
named parties would they be APP
pointed2 To this the Governor
repIiedi ''Not unless they are
suitable persons"
A few days after this the Gov
ernor's Private Secretary c;rcula
ted a petition here for the appoint
ment Of other parties as commis-
sioners for Rankin. OF those who
signed this petition many did so
because they were indifferent
about the matter, but chiefly be-
cause they did not know that
chairman White had suggested
Othef names.
Now what means this opposition
to the gentlomon recommended by
Mr.. WhteY Does it mean that Jno.
Atkins, Joe McLaurin and W. g..
Traylor are not "suitable persons"
to serve as election commissioners
Well, if tools are wanted, they are
pro-eminently not suitable"
Does it mean that the Governor
stoops to the potty business Of
sending over his son and Private
Secretary to get up a petition for
the appointment of parties of his
own selectionl Does it mean that
the virtual reading Of the petit
tion is 81, the son, and you, the
father, hereby earnestly urge you,
the Governor, to secure the ap.
poIntment Of the men agreed
upon? Does it mean that the rep
resentatives Of the Democratic par
ty in Rankin must DO nothing cx-
eept by consent Of Pat, the son OF
his pa?

Every voter in this county un-
derstands the importance of regis
tering in order that he may vote
in the general election. The Reg
istrar has about finished his round
as advertised tor this purpose
And from what We can learn there
are many voters in the county
whose names do not appear upon
the poll books. For instance ia
the primary election, Atlanta yot-
ed 25s and the poll book for that
precinct now show tho registered
voters to be 200. Tn the primary
Sparta voted ia, Bethel 80, Pear
sail 55. This makes 259 for Spar
ia precinct, aud up to this time on
y 1919 have registered. This looks
as though we have more primary
Democratic voters than registered
voters in the county.
We are aware Of the fact that
many people think if they belong
to a club they are registered and
can vote in the general election.
This is a sad mistake and we adj
wise all voters to see that there

II seems that some of the business
men of Houston are boycotting
him because of his position in ref

is all wrong. Houston can boast
Of one Of the best papers in the

the failure Of her business men to

such another. II is not an easy
matter to edit and conduct news

men who attempt it utterly fail.
Bro. Foster has proven himself to
be an excellent newspaper manag-
er, and Houston should be very
proud of the Free South, and
should encourage it by every pos
sible means. They should not ex-
pect to control the editor, for If he
be q man he will not tie on to the
coat-tail Of any man OF set of men,

But Probable.
There is some curious literature
in last weeks Chickasaw MEssEE-
GER. A petition signed by all the
Democratic nominees and over
thirteen hundred Democratic
voters Of Chickasaw county was
fled before the State Board of
Election Commissioners, asking
the appointment Of certain COM
missioners for that county. This
petition was ignored, and from
letters secured that had been writ
ten by the Independent candidates
il appears that the commissioners
endorsed by them were appointed.
Is it possible that the Commission
is lending itself to the defeat Of
Burkitt for the Legislature by an
independent, because he is an anti
administration Democrat Fay
etts Chronicle.
Yes, it is possible, not only pos
sible but probable. Yea more, it
is absolutely fact, which was in
dicated by the conference held be-
tween Lowry aud certain sore
heads ir this county before the
appointment; by the quere pro-
pounded to Mr.. Orr by member
Of the State Board of Election
Commissioners, who was solicitous
to know, why Burkitt had no op-
position in the primary, and by
the refusal Of the Governor to al.
low the papers filed by the con
spirators against the Democracy
Of Chiokasaw to be inspected, and
it was positively and undeniably
confirmed by the action of the
Board, when the request Of the nom
inees, endorsed by the chairman
and a majority of the Executive
Committee, backed by majority
of the white voters of .he county
was ignored and the prayer o
twenty sore-heads granted. Bu
we want the honest Democratic
voters throughout the State, who
are always for fair and honorable
deal, to understand that Chicka
saw is all right. There is too
much manhood in this county tC
allow a State House Junta to pu
up a job on the Democratic party

No, and it would be folly for

however, for the benefit Of those
